Xi'an, walls & noodles

2–3 daysBalancedHistoryFoodCyclingMarkets

Ancient capital energy. The Terracotta Warriors without the package add-ons, plus the food streets and the ride along the top of the old city wall at dusk.

Day 1

Terracotta Warriors, independently

How to get there by public bus/train instead of an overpriced tour, what to see first, and when to go to dodge the worst crowds.

Day 2

City wall & the food streets

Cycle the 14 km wall loop at golden hour, then graze the Muslim Quarter — biang-biang noodles, lamb skewers, and the stalls worth queuing for.

Day 3

Pagodas & a slower morning

Big Wild Goose Pagoda and a calmer neighbourhood breakfast before your onward train.
